Right but why did I put BBC on wanting The Apprentice and being met with a load of old people jabbering on about bloody nonsense

[saiwong]

Half expecting Dermot O'Leary to come out and announce the result of the vote, nail biting isn't it

[Daniel-X]

Whew this episode of The Apprentice seems boring

[reece(:]

Not 117 against her

she's never gonna get a deal through commons.

This really is a Channel 5 style BB Situation

[Rob!]

Skin of her teeth though yikes

[Beso]

117 is basically the 48 and a pal that was due payment for an earlier favour...skin of the teeth, my arse!

[Scarlett.]

Probably the best case scenario, I still prefer May to Mogg, Boris or Gove

[Beso]

T'was a harry style landslide.

[joeysteele]

A serving PM of a minority government with 317 MPs.
Has 117 of those MPs voting no confidence in said PM.

That is disastrous.

Moves came against Thatcher as a serving PM but after 11 years of premiership.
This PM has around 37% of her own MPs losing confidence in her after barely 2 and a half years being leader and PM.

It's a poor result for Theresa May.
I always believed she'd win this vote and if the 48 who wrote letters, had only been joined by around 20 others, then that would have been a good result.
To have doubled that number of 48 and added a further 20 to that on top.
Is a really bad position now for this PM, who many now will be looking at what date she will standing down, since she has said she will not lead the Party in the election of 2022.

This is a really farcical and bad for the Nation position for any government of the UK to have come to.

Whatever it was, all I see is a strong determined women who could have walked at anytime with nothing more than an understanding nod from the public as she went.

Bit no! She stayed, doggedly battling away to get us out this mess we got ourselves in. Doing it for us. Not herself,not her party, just us.

She hasn't shunned the desperation of her plight, nor been visibly fazed by the indignation or scorn put upon her from her greedy self serving lynch mob.

The whole world has had its say, but our prime minister has kept smiling, kept fighting like a prime minister for the people should.

Didn't Corbyn get about the same percentage as May tonight, in his last leadership election?

This isn't a leadership election though.
Corbyn has had bad results in votes of confidence yes, however he is only the opposition leader.

This is a no confidence vote in the serving PM of the present government in power.
The result showing not just that 117 don't want her as PM and leader but they also have no confidence in her.
All from her own Party.

200 of them do, for now but for a PM to have to say, she will guarantee not to lead them into a general election in 2022, in order to get votes to remain PM now, is at best farcical and worst near disastrous.
After only 30 months as Prime Minister too.

I lived for the drama of it all tbh.

The people's choice lives to deliver the brexit people voted for

[Rob!]

So, the vote was:

For May: 63%
Against May: 37%

Jacob Rees-Mogg is calling for the PM to resign. That’s kind of strange, given that he thinks that 52% is the ‘will of the people’ and that a mandate like that should be respected.

I’m of the opinion that he’s a ****.

[Scarlett.]

Rees-Mogg has thankfully exposed himself as the spiteful toad that he is today, hopefully enough people have taken notice of his true colours.
